< 2 Chronicles 27 >

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
Yotam dii hene no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia. Na ne na a ɔyɛ Sadok babea no din de Yerusa.
2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into the LORD’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛnea nʼagya Usia yɛe no. Yotam de, wankɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu sɛnea nʼagya yɛe no. Nanso ɔmanfo no toaa wɔn nnebɔneyɛ so.
3 He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
Yotam san yɛɛ Atifi Pon a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no ho, na ɔsan yɛɛ nnwuma bebree de siesiee ɔfasu a ɛwɔ Ofel bepɔw so no.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
Ɔkyekyeree nkurow wɔ Yuda mmepɔw asase so, sisii aban ne abantenten wɔ mmeaemmeae a wɔadua nnua.
5 He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
Yotam tuu Amonfo so sa, dii wɔn so nkonim. Mfe abiɛsa a edi kan no de, ogyee wɔn sonkahiri a ɛyɛ dwetɛ tɔn 3.4, awi susukoraa mpem aduonum ne atoko susukoraa mpem aduonum.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
Ɔhene Yotam nyaa tumi kɛse, efisɛ ɔde ahwɛyie yɛɛ osetie maa Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Yotam ahenni ho nsɛm nkae a nʼakodi ne ne nneyɛe ahorow ka ho no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel ne Yuda ahemfo nhoma mu.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Odii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia.
9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Yotam wui no, wosiee no Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Ahas, na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
